Studio A
This complex was designed to accommodate the needs
of audio for video and film, as well as traditional music production,
and includes a studio, control room, mastering/observation lab,
and machine room. Recording floor A is a large (38’ x 50’)
room equipped with a lighting grid. Masonry low-frequency diffusing
series are coupled with a balance of absorptive and reflective surface
finishes to accommodate a wide range of recording sessions. Interconnect
panels are located around the perimeter of the room to allow connection
of mic, line, headphones, speakers and MIDI tie lines to the control
room.
Control Room A features a Studer digital mixing
system with all film sound panning formats, Coastal Acoustics, Boxer
and PMC/Bryston 5.1 channel monitor systems, near-field monitors,
Dolby surround encoder and decoders, a MIDI station, a ProTools
digital audio workstation with multiple audio interfaces and numerous
outboard signal processing units. A Studer digital 24 track, a Studer
analog 24 track, and Tascam DTRS recorders are located in the adjoining
machine room. Master recorders include 2 track analog with Dolby
SR, Sony, Tascam and Otari DATs, and a Tascam CD-R. While the main
loudspeakers are supported from pedestals, their enclosures are
suspended from an independent system of beams and columns, and both
the pedestals and enclosures are isolated from the room’s floating
floor, walls and ceiling. A masonry low-frequency diffusing series
was constructed along the entire rear wall of the control room.
It serves as a framework for the high frequency acoustical diffusers
by RPG Diffuser Systems.
